"This thesis explores the types of local knowledge that local residents possess and the resonation of these in water projects related to adaptive water management, looking specifically at two Dutch case studies. Adaptive water management is a move away from the traditional, technical approach of water management, which will result in a more prominent role of local knowledge. Local knowledge focuses both on 'hard' knowledge people have of an area and 'soft' meanings people assign to their environment. The narrative approach taken in this research reveals that there lies a challenge to include local knowledge in water management, because of two main reasons. First, the conservative nature of local knowledge might act as a barrier to resilient water policies, because it can clash with anticipatory adaptation. Second, the value-rationality of local knowledge is hard to connect with the instrumental rationality of expert knowledge, which is dominant in water authorities."^^ . "2013" . . . . . . . "J.J."^^ .
